Adaaran Club Rannalhi

A really lovely small island with a single hotel resort. Fabulous dining spot, two bars overlooking the sea, and two storey thatched residences cleaned twice a day. Upper storeys reached by steep stairway which could be difficult for those with mobility issues. Nice helpful staff.

Had gone for a day tour from 9am till 5pm. Location is really good, pristine clear water, right balance of trees (and canopy for shade) and sand (for sunshine). Ample amount of chairs for lying around with beach towels. Food was good, but less variety. I expected more of seafood. Drinks were too watery. Snorkelling point was awesome. Haven't seen such different varieties of fish so close to the beach. Tried canoeing too. All-in-all, good experience.

Visited the place as a day visitor. The place was beautiful, they had good activities lined up during daytime and both food and drinks were really good. The beach was nice but I wished it had clearer water and no rock beds that could have made getting into the sea a better experience. The staff was nice and knowledgeable until something unusual happened and they could not handle - it rained heavily and they couldn't know how/where to provide sheltered space for drinks and snacks which kind of sucked for everyone there. Overall the island was good for one time visit if you are in Maldives for many days but you can definitely skip this place if you have to choose only a few places out of many.

The rooms were cleaned twice per day. There was a bas smell coming always from the bathroom. The meals offered are good. Big selection, and rotated over the week. Location is good but isolated. Very good for relaxing and disconnecting but all the activity are over priced and then you are left with nothing to do except snorkling. Overall our stay was enjoyable. 4 nights are more than enough since there wasn't anything with reasonable price to do.

Me and my wife have loved every minute of our 10 day stay on the island. I would give an overall score of 10 out of 10. Hosts: 10 Service: 10 Food: 10 Location: 10 Cleanliness: 10 Facilities: 9.5 (This score for facilties is just to reflect the mini bar was not free, which we knew in advance, but perhaps it could be stocked with local drinks instead?) We stayed in a water bungalow, which was amazing and was everything we hoped. Though the beachside rooms looked fantastic and had great views too. It was a large room with excellent air-con. Nice shower in a good sized bathroom, with its own door to the deck. Bed was super king sized and very comfortable. The rooms are attended to twice a day, done so at our convenience with minimal interruption, and to a high standard as well. The deck has two very comfortable sun loungers, table and chairs, and obviously the steps to the sea. I've seen reviews saying the bungalows look tired. I disagree, everything is well maintained and has its own authentic charm, even the stilts were cleaned during our stay. People need to appreciate that a bungalow over the sea in a tropical climate will show superficial external signs of such. We loved the fact everyone has their own table in the restaurant. Shareef, our waiter, was brilliant. Though all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, a good mix of Eastern and European. The bacon at breakfast is proper unsmoked cured back bacon. The omelettes are immense! The food doesn't run out, it is obviously well run front and back of house. The bar staff are friendly and attentive and there is an excellent range of drinks and cocktails on the all inclusive menu. We never felt the need to purchase the 'special' drinks. Being in the bungalow, we regularly frequented the nearby Nika bar, a lovely location and great bar staff, quieter than the main bar, a nice place to chill at the end of a 'busy' day. We snorkelled pretty much every day. It is a must. There is also a very informative talk from the watersports and dive teams about the sea creatures on Tuesday evening in the main bar after dinner. There is no hard sell (which can be said of all the resort) though people are on hand if you're interested in say a spa treatment or jet ski hire etc. Lots of optional excursions available, including fishing trips morning and evening. We did the complimentary (based on the length of our stay) sunset cruise, which I'd recommend as a freebie. The spa treatments are excellent (I'm reliably informed) and are good value for money. Comparable to UK prices with the inclusive credit and a strong GBP to the USD exchange rate. There is the option to go SCUBA diving even if you've never done so before. The staff are experts and very supportive and reassuring. As you'd expect, the island itself is so picturesque, the sea turquoise and the soft white sand. I'm not a photographer, but the island allowed me to take beautiful pictures. We had an amazing stay, effectively our honeymoon 18 years in the making. For us, this was a once in a lifetime holiday. We made the right choice.
